We hope you all enjoyed our National Maradan Holiday yesterday. The server Newths went on strike and caused chaos on the site! And if you don't believe that, sorry for the problems we had for a few hours yesterday, we were upgrading some of our servers a month ahead of schedule and didn't have enough time to prepare & warn you about it!

Five new Renat colours are now avaliable.

NEW SHOP
We have a new shop in Eleka Castle for you to restock! This evil shop sells Cooking Ingredients which are in fact parts of pets! This is also the first non-MP restocking shop, as this shop sells items for RP!



This is what the new prison, mutant and zombie Renat look like!

A new Editorial has just been released.

A new Email Newsletter is currently being sent out. Inside is a vault code which can be used in a couple of days to earn a new item, MP and account upgrade credit. Please note that it will take up to 3 weeks for everyones email to be sent, so please be patient. You may also want to check your spam folder and/or allow emails from marapets@gmail.com to make sure you receive it.

We have just added the new Rainbow Tantua and a Burnt Yakubi.

We have just added the new Rainbow Viotto and a Plushie Grint.

Now that Account Upgrades are back and working as they should be, we have decided it was time to fix the old Marasite & Journal upgrade items which are no longer avaliable. These items are now limited edition items on sale at the Account Upgrades page until further notice. If and when we do re-release the Marasite & Journal upgrades, these items will not be part of it anymore, so this may be your last chance to get them.

The May Account Upgrades are currently being worked on and should be released next week, along with the new mission. This means that you only have a few more days to get the September Account Upgrade before it retires, and the November upgrade changes from £8 to £10.

This is how the Yuni will look as a mutant, prison or as a zombie!

ACCOUNT UPGRADES
We have finished our work on the Account Upgrades system and if you haven't already noticed, there has been a lot of changes. We have changed from US dollars to UK Pounds because we are a UK website and its easier and cheaper for us to us UK Pounds. We have also changed to Google Checkout! You can make an account there in 2 quick and very easy stages which will take only a few minutes and then buying Account Upgrades will be much easier than it was with Paypal.
showMark(2);

We have currently disabled Paypal payments for improvements. However, when Paypal returns, you will not get the 20% extra credit you receive with Google Checkout. Paypal is also a lot slower to process than Google, so we hope you will choose Google Checkout instead, because it is much much better in our opinion!

Google Checkout Promotion!
With every Google Checkout payment you make, you will receive 20% extra credit FREE until Sep 07!

Also, get a free Billy minipet with your first ever purchase with Google Checkout!

MAINTENANCE COMPLETED!!!
We have been going through major maintenance and upgrades to the site for nearly 8 months now and today we have finally finished. We would like to say a huge thank you to all of you that have continued to stayed with us through all of the lag, downtime and random server errors and glitches and to all of the account upgraders that have helped us to pay for it all! We are hoping that by the end of this month, every known glitch on our list is fixed, including Marasites, and we will also be contiuning to revamp, reorganise and improve all of the major sections of the site. Then in June, we will be back to normal with tons of great new updates, including new flash games, pets, worlds, items and lots of other things we are going to keep secret!

Here is another sneak preview of the new Mission that will be released soon! The Voodoo Costume will be the costume avaliable, and here are 3 of the freakiest looking pets on the site wearing the costume! Definately from Eleka's Castle...

The Fasoro has finally been revamped. We will be revamping a few more pets soon, but the Fasoro was one of the only pets that hasn't changed since we first opened and is becoming more and more difficult to do new and interesting costumes for. We hope you like the change, and if not, theres 40 other pets to choose from!

NEW FEATURE
We are pleased to announce the return of MaraJournals! The new Blogs have been released in a basic version on your profiles. The blogs link is at the top of every page near the online count and you can post new diary entries on your profile to let the rest of Marada know your latest news! Found a new avatar? Acheieved a new goal? Won a competition offline? Selling something new? Post a blog entry! Soon your Marapals will also be able to comment on them and many more features will be released over the next few weeks. We hope you like this new feature. Many of you have been gaining more entry space with your account upgrade purchases for over a year now, so you can finally use them!

If you haven't already noticed, Profiles have been changed to make room for the new Blogs. We hope you like the changes, they are a lot more organised now. You will soon be able to edit the colour scheme with your unlocked fonts in your glowing egg nest!

Account Upgrades are still down for maintenance. We are going through a major upgrade with their system, switching both payments methods and the currency we process payments in. We will no longer have USD$ as the main currency, but will switch to GBP . Those in the US will still be able to purchase Account Upgrades, just like how people in the rest of the world has bought them in their currency, because Google Checkout will charge you in your own currency. It will be no different for you, but it will save us a whole week at the end of the year when we have to work out the taxes!

NEW LAYOUT
You probably already noticed, but we have a new Spring Layout. Although the war is still on, we wanted to release the new layout early, as the site is finally back to normal. We have completed all of the major maintenance around the site now and you should notice that the site is running much better because of it. We will still have the ocasional upgrades in certain areas of the site but it won't be longer than a couple of hours. You may of also noticed that we have added a few new links to the layout. We are working all week to improve the navigation around the site, introducing the new Currency and Pets sections, which will soon be information and quicklinks to places like the Pet Exchange, the Pound, Create a Pet, the Bank & ATM, etc. Thanks for your patience all of this month while we took our major upgrades to the site. We are back to normal now and stay tuned for some great new updates to the site in May.

A little later than planned, the April Account Upgrade has been released. We have had the Dark theme before, so this time it has a Light theme! Here are some of the items you can get from supporting the site this month:

Our annual Easter Egg Hunt has just started! Although two weeks later than usual this year, the war and site maintenance delayed it. Both the war and the maintenance will be finished by the end of the month. This year's Easter Egg Hunt has 40 levels for you to complete. There are 40 new easter eggs hidden around the site and you have to follow the clues to find them. These will be hidden for atleast a week, maybe longer if we have to, so everyone should be able to take part. There is an Easter Egg Hunt Forum where you can all work together to solve each clue.

There is one IMPORTANT RULE - you cannot list answers or give out answers on the Forums or Club Boards, ONLY via Maramail. Anyone caught giving answers on the Forums or Club Boards, or linking to websites with the answers listed on the Forums or Club Boards will be banned from taking part, will have their prizes taken away from them and will be fined up to 100,000MP.

There are some great prizes to be won from this event. You will win all 40 Easter Eggs if you complete the whole event, MP and these items below, which will all retire after this event.
